Feels to me like GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the US border test with flying colours!

Funny part about this lawsuit: “With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going,”

claimed they did not need a warrant to search Tunick’s phone because he had not yet crossed the U.S. border.

Also no right to search / seize his phone then. US law doesn't apply on non-US soil.

    If it's not US soil, it's not a detention, it's a rendition, a kidnapping.

    Also, I don't know how citizenship works I this respect in the US, but in my country a citizen cannot be denied entry. It can be detained upon entering, but by then you are in sovereign soil.
